why is rations closed all the time

[Fallizs]

you add ration coupons, slum shops are starting to get built upon them coupons and then rations are never open, and no one can get some food because rations are closed
like i dont want to spend 10 hours playing for it to open once, its not fun, why is it closed all the time man

Because every time it opens a (smart) group of resistance members do something to have it closed again, causing citizens to choose a side, typically rebels, because people not getting credits and food from rations then must interact with the slum economy.
However, since nobody dies of thirst or hunger or are even typically inconvenienced by them, and most players are saving money by not eating or drinking unless they have a reason to, there will be no food riots and the combine are capable of simply keeping the machine closed near-permanently because that's just what is expected to be done every time there's an arson attack.
Solution is to not close the machine every time a rebel writes a rude word on a wall to force the resistance to either dedicate to drastic action or calm down

Thats usually what happens when they do another bombing on a residential block

The rebellion in the past few days has done several things that warrant the lack of rations. I cannot specify what, but it is most certainly enough for the Combine to be escalating against the citizens.

Well so early into c24v3 and resistance keeps hitting the combine hard in a few places and stealing its resourcing consistently. Apart from that, you got resistance also... blowing up residential buildings because such is on their agenda I guess. A little bit of resistance, a little bit of terrorism and a little bit of trolling

They left the CMU unlocked, I had to do a bit of tomfoolery.

to be fair Ppl complain about rebels needing to do something. it's not just residential blocks, as seen in [REDACTED] today-- anything rebels do relating to the city will result in some form of punishments against citizens (which is reasonable n realistic). so you either choose one or the other
- have rebels do something but have citizens always be punished for it
- or have rebels do nothing and citizens go fine

bro the bombing from today literally got ourselves a ration deduction count. at this point we not getting this shit for at least a week or two

 

[Kappatalist]

Ration deductions make sense but for such an extended period I do kinda worry, Loyalist/CitizenRP at the mo' doesn't have a fact lot going for it and having rations closed just means everyone has very little reason to be there or have any way to spend money at stores.
